it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car

This update was supposed to come yesterday, but yesterday proved to be quite a busy day. Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary. Three years hardly seems all that long given the fact we've been together for over ten years, but it's still hard to believe that three years have already passed since our wedding day. Mostly it's crazy how much life can change in three years, like the fact we're busy planning the first birthday party of our son.

Three years ago yesterday, I married not only my best friend, but the person I was able to grow up alongside. Three years ago yesterday, I marred a man who would become the most incredible father I could ever imagine. The kind of father who sings and dances at mommy and me classes without feeling silly, the kind of father who doesn't wait to change out of his work clothes before getting down on the floor and playing with Ethan, the kind of father who always puts us first no matter what or how hard his day has been.

It's been three whole years since our wedding, but yesterday was a little bit more slower paced. We spent our anniversary at Rainforest Cafe with Ethan, watching his face light up when the robotic animals began to put on their show and the lights began to flash. We walked up and down the crowded outlet malls looking for new clothes for the ever-growing Ethan and finding a couple of really cute things.

It was a fantastic day yesterday but in honor of our anniversary, I'll devote this post to our wedding day. Three years ago yesterday, we said I Do and three years later, it's still one of the best days of my life.

I don't get many things right the first time,
in fact, I am told that a lot.
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles and falls brought me here.
And where was I before the day that I first saw your lovely face,
now I see it every day and I know that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest.
